The Israeli government's plans to conquer Gaza City, which became known at the beginning of August, are already underway. Benjamin Netanyahu's army began its assault on Gaza City this Wednesday. According to Israeli military spokesperson Effie Defrin, troops have begun "military operations and the first stages" of the conquest of the city, where at least one million Palestinians have taken refuge. After a clash with Hamas in southern Khan Yunis, the army claims to now control the outskirts of Gaza City.
